Abstract
The room temperature interaction of [Rh-I(CO)(2)Cl](2) with the (1 x 1) and Ti2O3 added row (1 x 2) terminations of TiO2[1 1 0] has been studied using scanning tunnelling microscopy. Dissociative adsorption of [Rh-I(CO)(2)Cl](2) at the (1 x 1) surface leads to the formation of an adsorbed Rh-I(CO)(2)Cl species that coexists with particulate Rh; the latter forms predominantly at step edges and terrace defects. The saturated Rh-I(CO)(2)Cl layer orders into domains showing a ((1)(-1) (2)(1)) relationship with respect to the underlying (1 x 1) structure. However, adsorption of the Rh organometallic at the Ti2O3 terminated (1 x 2) surface results solely in the formation of metallic Rh: there is no evidence for the formation of a stable Rh-I(CO)(2)Cl species. The difference in surface reactivity between the two TiO2 surfaces is discussed in terms of their differing structure. A mode of adsorption of the Rh-I(CO)(2)Cl species on the (1 x 1) surface and the resulting structure of the geminal dicarbonyl adlayer are proposed.
